Final Project Proposal – Digital Personal Portfolio

In 2008, one of my life highlight is I was admitted to University of Washington, Master of Communication with Digital Media program in 2008.

Today in Oct. 2009,  i am half way through the program.

I learned a lot in the program: research methodology, digital media marketing, predict media trend, story telling strategy and so on.

In each class, i achieved a lot to contribute back to my professional career. We did many Blogs towards today’s social media society, we did personal and group projects deep dive into today’s social media platform; we did thorough research of  the history of digital media and predict the future, we also finished so many paper, videos, slides, podcasting projects and so on.

With this huge accomplishments, explain to people what i am studying in this program  is always a challenge.

Explain what it is the key of this program, what it is i learned that’s beneficial to professional career, is very difficult in short period of time.

Why not use what we learned the class to start building up my personal Digital Portfolio to present who i am today and tomorrow after studying in this program.

Digital Personal/Professional Portfolio has not being seen as a popular method.

People still using traditional paper resume to look for a job when they need.

Why not start building digital portfolio create your own brand, and let the opportunities come to my way?, 

Idea:

• Build up digital personal portfolio

Benefits:

1. New personal image in job market – compare traditional job application (paper based resume)
2. Build up image for MCDM program – each student success career after the program is fruit of MCDM program
3. Voice for MCDM  program – instead of what MCDM program is doing today try to build up centralized hub for the program, each student’s portfolio will be a strong voice for the program to speak to the rest of the world

Outline:

1. Research today’s portfolio
2. Predict future portfolio
3. Differences of professional profile and portfolio
4. Benefit of personal digital portfolio
